Of course, it seems at least marginally noteworthy that, just a few months ago, the European Court of Human Rights had ruled that at least one of Turkey's internet bans, on YouTube, had breached the right to information. Of course, with Erdogan's activities this week, you get the feeling he doesn't care much at all what the European Court of Human Rights thinks about his actions right now.

The brutal truth

Of course, with Erdogan's activities this week, you get the feeling he doesn't care much at all what the European Court of Human Rights thinks about his actions right now.

And why should he?

If the other governments have been willing to put up with him before now it's not like he has anything to fear if he's 'only' cracking down on the peons in his own country, especially with the coup attempt to provide cover for his actions(you know, just like how the US, UK and numerous other governments use 'terrorism' as justification).

What, are they going to send a sternly worded letter and tell him to stop that or else?

In another news, Erdogan floods court systems around the world with defamation lawsuits against people reporting, sharing or thinking about the things the leaked mails revealed. Swears he isn't into nazi sadomasochism. Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile approves it.
